The farming community is in crisis. Our sunburnt country has seen its warmest Autumn ever. Combined with record dry conditions, this has resulted in Australia’s worst drought in decades.

Right now, 100% of NSW is drought-affected. There is no end in sight for the big dry.

Regional communities across the state has been crippled without rain, leaving many people without any income.

Farming families and people in the bush whose living is dependent on the land, are struggling to put food on the table.

“Our town is suffering. Farm hands, shop owners, services are all dependant on the farming. Everything from mechanics, shops who provide parts for farmers plants, wheels all can’t get paid because crops are failing.”

- Carla, Foodbank community partner, Narrabri
